I own a 98 24 valve with 132,000 miles all stock. my problem is when she cold hot or summer it takes a while to get started but after it gets warms up its fine you can turn her off and it will start right up again. so does anyone know or could point in the direction of what could be wrong?

 

any fuel leaks? last time you changed fuel filter? whats your fuel pressure? we had one that was the exact opposite of yours cold motor itd start just fine but kill it and it wouldnt start again till you left it alone atleast a coulple hours finally changed the pumps and never had the problem again...

 

check the injector lines for leaks.. might need to replace your cross tubes and or injector lines

 

It sounds like you have a leak in the fuel system which is fairly common. Especially if someones recently been messing with any part of the fuel system. And it doesn't have to be dripping fuel to be a leak either. Here's a great way to tell if its that too..... Park with the nose of your truck pointing down hill overnight. If it starts normal or more normal upon that first start up then you have a leak.
